Time in a Bottle Blog Hop

 

Welcome! Today I am showing off my creation for the Time in a Bottle Blog Hop.

And since it is also St. Patrick's day,  I went for a green color pallet.

For this hop we were challenged to use at least one hourglass block in our project.

I knew immediately I wanted to make Ohio Star blocks as they have four hour glass blocks inside them. I initially was going to make the traditional two colored hour glass blocks, but then I saw some Heather Ross frog fabric poking out of my stash and decided they needed to be in the center with a tad more green in the block.  So I guess you can call it an hour glass with a green shadow.

After I had the Ohio Stars made, I wasn't sure how I wanted to lay them out into a quilt.  I thought about separating them with sashing, but then I thought they needed to be surrounded by more shapes and color. Of course more green.

  Then the double Irish chain quilt popped into my head.  Again perfect for St. Patrick's day.  So I made a bunch of four patches.

This is Boonky, trying to be a quilt Supervisor... falling asleep on the job.

I added some extra pieces to the four patches and had block A for my Double Irish Chain.

I had to add some extra side pieces to my Ohio Stars too to make block B.

Again... Boonky falling asleep on the job.

I alternated blocks A and B together to make the top.

The frogs are so cute!  I almost went with shamrocks, but I am glad I picked the frogs.

Now I need to decide if I want to custom quilt this one or do an all over design.

Make sure to check out the other Blogs today to see what everyone else made with their hour glass blocks!
